Joule’s Brewery has purchased a canalside pub on Gas Street, right in the centre of Birmingham. It now has three venues in the city.
For now, the pub will remain open as it is, with Joule’s beers on the bar. In the fullness of time, it will be restored as a Joule’s Taphouse.
This next chapter will be guided, as always, by a belief in the quintessential pub experience, says the brewer. That’s real fires, great pub food, live music, proper cask ale, good dogs, and even better conversation.
“This is an ambitious site for us, but we do not undertake this challenge lightly,” said Joule’s development director, Anna Brakel. “Waterside Tap, in the next year, will turn into a Joule’s Taphouse.
“Just like with our previous projects, we recognise the importance of preserving the history and unique features that make each pub special. We’ll take our time to understand the site, community, and listen to the customers to help guide our plans.
“We are lucky to have many listed buildings within our Taphouse estate. We find they have the most charm, as they’re steeped in history.”
Bernie and Ade, much-loved landlords of the New Inn, in Harborne, in Harborne, will take on the running of the new venue, too.
